Bill reduces car safety inspections, puts troopers on road

SALT LAKE CITY — Owners of newer cars won’t have to submit to safety inspections as often and 20 additional state troopers would be on the road under legislation the House approved Friday.

HB298 calls for inspections in years four, eight, 10, 12 and every year thereafter. It would reassign seven Utah Highway Patrol troopers who work in the safety inspection bureau to the streets. It also contains money for six additional troopers, making 13 that would be on patrol starting July 1.

Most companies give a break to those who drive less than 7500 miles a year. If you take public transportation instead of driving to work, your premium will go down. Out of the question? Try “Clearance Auto”.
